The topic we are talking about is very interesting. - Explains these cases: ● Relative pronouns “who, whom, which, that” can be omitted without changing any elements when they are objects in the sentences. ● But we can not omit: “who, which, that” as subjects or “who, whom, which” are after a comas without changing any elements in the sentence. - Gives the conclusion: ●When the relative pronoun plays the role as an object, we can leave out the pronoun without changing any elements of the sentence. ●Clauses without pronouns are very common in informal English. 2.
